Day: August 9, 2026

New Jersey and Florida are set to square off for 3rd place down in Greenville, NC

First Pitch – 10:09, 81° – feeling like 92°

  These two teams felt heartbreak yesterday afternoon when they lost their semifinal games and are now being asked to wake ⏰️ up early and once again play a game on national TV 📺.

I’m hoping this game doesn’t become one-sided because one never knows how a team will perform in this particular situation.

Toms River is the visiting team for this one and we are set to go.

Toms River plates two in the top of the first after FLA struggled with their defense.

Toms River …  200 200 – 4 4   1

Lake Mary ……003 101 – 5 11 3

Middle 3rd, 10:56 – bottom 3rd last 18 minutes, and catcher’s interference allows three runs to score.

Walk-off or extras ???

12:20 – bottom of 6th…

Bases loaded and just one out for Florida. 12:26 – Green with the game winning hit !

Psalm 9 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvelous works.

Coach Vickey Ritchie is celebrating ” Shark Week ” in her basketball 🏀 practice today from 2 – 4 pm. I’m already looking forward to seeing 👀 the creativity.

10am and 3pm are the times listed for the final games today down in Greenville, NC as the Softball Little League World Series wraps up. Both Kentucky and North Carolina advanced to the Championship game without dropping a game.

Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌😇🙏
